Celebrating 125 Years

Our Committee

The 125th Anniversary Committee

A committee, chaired by former Provost Dr David Rich, has been formed to plan and coordinate the University's celebrations.

The committee is supported across the campuses by appropriate departments, including the Vice-Chancellor's Office, the Office of Marketing and Communications, and the Advancement Office. Alumni are pivotal to the celebrations and are also represented.

It is the Committee's intention to highlight and celebrate the enormous achievements of this University, and to ensure our 125th Anniversary becomes a point of deep and abiding pride in our institution.
